58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59Generates a cryptographic MIC for the supplied message,
60and places the MIC in a token for transfer to the peer application.
61The
62.Fa qop_req
63parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms,
64if supported by the chosen mechanism.
65.Pp
66Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
67by
68.Fn gss_wrap
69to provide "secure framing",
70implementations must support derivation of MICs from zero-length messages.
71.Pp
72The
73.Fn gss_sign
74routine is an obsolete variant of
75.Fn gss_get_mic .
76It is
77provided for backwards
78compatibility with applications using the GSS-API V1 interface.
79A distinct entrypoint (as opposed to #define) is provided,
80both to allow GSS-API V1 applications to link
81and to retain the slight parameter type differences between the
82obsolete versions of this routine and its current form.
83.Sh PARAMETERS
84.Bl -tag -width ".It message_buffer"
85.It minor_status
86Mechanism specific status code.
87.It context_handle
88Identifies the context on which the message will be sent.
89.It qop_req
90Specifies requested quality of protection.
91Callers are encouraged, on portability grounds,
92to accept the default quality of protection offered by the chosen
93mechanism,
94which may be requested by specifying
95.Dv GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT
96for this parameter.
97If an unsupported protection strength is requested,
98.Fn gss_get_mic
99will return a
100.Fa major_status
101of
102.Dv GSS_S_BAD_QOP .
103.It message_buffer
104Message to be protected.
105.It msg_token
106Buffer to receive token.
107The application must free storage associated with this buffer after
108use with a call to
109.Fn gss_release_buffer .
110.El
111.Sh RETURN VALUES
112.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED"
113.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
114Successful completion
115.It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
116The context has already expired
117.It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
118The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context
119.It GSS_S_BAD_QOP
120The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism
